One Life to Live's Nathaniel Marston has passed away on Wednesday as a result of the injuries he sustained from a serious car crash late last month.

He was 40 years old.

The actor was driving in Reno, Nevada when he got into a single-vehicle accident. Police think the soap star had fallen asleep at wheel, which caused his pickup truck to flip multiple times.

His mother, Elizabeth Jackson, took to Facebook to share the devastating news, writing:

"Nathaniel Marston UPDATE: November 11, 2015 - Dear family and friends, it is with a heavy heart that I share this devastating news. My beloved and cherished son, Nathaniel Marston, who was putting up the good fight until last night was not able to continue due to the traumatic and devastating nature of his injuries. Nathaniel passed away peacefully as I held him in my arms. Father William, myself and his second Mommy Lisa, and our dear friend Charlotte were by his bedside, he was not alone. His injuries, which Dr.'s did their best to heal were not responding to treatment and one after another his bodily functions failed to support his life."

This is just so tragic.

On Tuesday, Nathaniel's team revealed that he was still in critical condition, fighting pneumonia, and struggling with a heart infection and irregular pulse.

Elizabeth explained that he would have been paralyzed if he had survived his injuries, adding:
